This will be the last image posted until the painting is complete, I have three weeks to work on it. At that time I will update "Follow the Brush". I hope you have enjoyed the process so far.

It's raining today, so working on the glacier...you know what I mean ;-) treated myself to some new brushes and some Gesso today.

Off to framers in a few minutes, about time to select a frame for the old painting...not finished yet, but getting close, well close enough. Done...framing will commence on Tuesday, meanwhile I still have painting here to play with. If it rains, I might spend a few hours on it this weekend.

Blue skies and warm temperatures again, but I'm trying to focus on my painting today, after uploading Ken's two Orillia Beavers.
Danielle returns a week from today, should be leaving Morocco for Spain today.
April 16, 2006
Well, a great pang of nostalgia this morning. It was one year ago that I left Vancouver for Melbourne and a fantastic time in Australia! Maybe this time next year I will do it all again, this trip with Danielle. Btw, she is having a great time in Morocco at the moment. Yesterday they were in Rabat.

Back from a wonderful road trip hunting Beavers. Great places, great people, and I'm glad to say, super images. Downloaded 277, from which I will choose a selection. Most will have to remain here until I get that book/CD done. Nice to be back here in the cab. I will tackle the additions soon. Maybe a few tonight. First a long soak in the tub. I thought of you all while on this short three day adventure in la Belle Province..

Off travelling in the Province of Québec

Worked on the Beaver's wings and watched high-level jets go by. The colours in this photograph are not accurate, aircraft colour is same as image added from Fred Wallis, taken yesterday. Thanks Fred, jeepers I want to get back to Talkeetna.

I have some friends visiting from Toronto this weekend, so painting on hold again. I did finish the rudder the other day.
Still managing to add the odd Beaver however.

The "Follow the brush" page has been updated. I did a little work on the Beaver (finally) after a relaxing week of other things.

Started the day with some extensive restoration work on scanned DHC slides taken 51 years ago. I hope you enjoy them. Once they are cleaned up, they are preserved!
